Why would everyone do a victory lap if they are losing time and money Software developers commenting on HN and elsewhere routinely focus on majorities, e.g., "80/20" memes, references to Zipf's Law, etc., and conclude without hesitation that if a small minority, say 5%, of software users do not follow a pattern that a large majority, say 95%, follow, the minority can be safely disregarded Is it really suprising that people reading the MIT report might focus on the 95% instead of the 5% IMO, the report is mostly about the 5% but as it happens people care about majorities like 95%
